Hemopericardium and Cardiac Tamponade in a Patient with an Elevated International Normalized Ratio
Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, 05/22/09
Levis JT et al. - This case report describes a 54-year-old male on warfarin for atrial fibrillation who presented to the emergency department following a syncopal episode with persistent hypotension. The patient’s International Normalized Ratio returned elevated at 6.0, and a rapid bedside cardiac ultrasound revealed a large pericardial effusion consistent with cardiac tamponade. The anticoagulation was reversed and the patient underwent successful pericardiocentesis with removal of 1,100 mL of blood.
